Re: acronyms in Lyx
Ciao,
I did it with the nomencl package. To add an entry I inserted an ERT
\nomenclature{bla}{short form for blablablabla}
Finally, put an ERT
\printnomenclature
where you want to have the list.
To generate my doc including the nomenclature, I failed to convince LyX to
do that for me. I wrote a script:
#!/bin/bash
lyx --export latex thesis.lyx
latex thesis
bibtex thesis
makeindex thesis.idx
makeindex thesis.nlo -s nomencl.ist -o thesis.nls
latex thesis
latex thesis
dvipdf thesis.dvi
In this case, the essential line is the makeindex with the nomencl.ist and
so on ...
Well, I have to confess, it could be easier but it works when I do it
like this.
HTH,
Cz.

Ligature problem
Hi there!
I have a problem with ligatures: 'fi' is fine, but all other ligatures seem not
to work. Especially in the case of 'ffi' this looks quite ugly - like {f}{fi}.
From googling I could only find articles that tell that ligatures look nice and
work in LaTeX ... :-/
Can somebody please tell me what to tweak to make all ligatures (ff, fi, ffi,
fl, ffl) work?
Thanks much!

Re: Upright greek letters in normal text and math mode
Ciao Miki,
thanks for your reply!
To be honest, this is not exactly what I am looking for because all letters in
math mode now changed their (actual nice) shape and, moreover, are no longer
italic.
The math panel offers a drop-down list for different text styles, but these DO
NOT work for greek letters. Usually, the italic letters are fine, but for units
(e.g. µm) always upright letters should be used. For this reason I would like
to be able to use upright greek letters in both math mode and standard
environment.
Can anyone help or provide a pointer?
Thanks!

Reinhard Mayr aka Czerwinski wrote:
Hello,
I am looking for a solution in a somehow tricky situation.
(1) In my document there is a table that is quite long and wide.
Therefore, I would like to implement it as a rotated longtable. But as
soon as I tick the Rotate table 90 degrees checkbox, I recieve errors
like Missing \endgroup inserted, Missing } inserted and
Incompatible
list can't be unboxed.
That does not work, apparently. Herbert posted this workaround (actually
the
first hit in the archives on longtable rotate):
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users%40lists.lyx.org/msg35981.html
OK, my search for longtable landscape portrait did not hit this entry... I
did it like
\usepackage{lscape}
\begin{landscape}
\end{landscape}
and it worked out!
(2) The table should behave like a float, but this is not possible if it
takes more than a page. Is there a way to fake this behavior?
No. Floats can't span more than one page. Why do you want that?
I do not want to waste half a page because just right at that position the
table is in the source file. I'd rather prefer the text continuing until the
end of the page, the table follows on the subsequent pages. Of course, the
landscape table and the regular text cannot be mixed on a page.
(3) I would like to add a caption at the bottom of the table. Any idea
how
to do this?
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Tables#longtab-cap
Thanks! I tried that before, but it did not work because the caption was on top
instead of at the bottom. However, according to your hint in
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg49820.html I added an
extra line at the bottom, inserted an ERT \caption{text}% in the first field
and an ERT % in the others -- worked out!
(4) Is there a possibility to do captions like: 1st page: Table xxx:
, following pages: Table xxx (continued)?
Yes. Use the longtable's heading/first heading checkboxes (see attached
example).
aha... I see the point -- thanks for the example!

As far as I understood it, you have to decide to either use a longtable or a float. A float can not go over a page break. I think your problems are similar to that discussed in this thread http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg49807.html hth, cz.

Re: Re: aspell / problems with umlauts
Hi Jürgen, thanks for the advice! In the beginning it looked as if it worked out: I selected one the affected paragraphs, changed the language to German and run the spellchecker. But this did not work twice, meaning when I re-run the spellchecker it thinks the text is English. The same situation for all other German paragraphs and now, after I restarted LyX, it thinks, the entire doc is in English. Is this a known bug (LyX 1.4.1), is there a solution? Thanks! Cz.

Hello,
I am looking for a solution in a somehow tricky situation.
(1) In my document there is a table that is quite long and wide.
Therefore, I would like to implement it as a rotated longtable. But as
soon as I tick the Rotate table 90 degrees checkbox, I recieve errors
like Missing \endgroup inserted, Missing } inserted and
Incompatible
list can't be unboxed.
That does not work, apparently. Herbert posted this workaround (actually
the
first hit in the archives on longtable rotate):
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users%40lists.lyx.org/msg35981.html
OK, my search for longtable landscape portrait did not hit this entry... I
did it like
\usepackage{lscape}
\begin{landscape}
\end{landscape}
and it worked out!
(2) The table should behave like a float, but this is not possible if it
takes more than a page. Is there a way to fake this behavior?
No. Floats can't span more than one page. Why do you want that?
I do not want to waste half a page because just right at that position the
table is in the source file. I'd rather prefer the text continuing until the
end of the page, the table follows on the subsequent pages. Of course, the
landscape table and the regular text cannot be mixed on a page.
(3) I would like to add a caption at the bottom of the table. Any idea
how
to do this?
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Tables#longtab-cap
Thanks! I tried that before, but it did not work because the caption was on top
instead of at the bottom. However, according to your hint in
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg49820.html I added an
extra line at the bottom, inserted an ERT \caption{text}% in the first field
and an ERT % in the others -- worked out!
(4) Is there a possibility to do captions like: 1st page: Table xxx:
, following pages: Table xxx (continued)?
Yes. Use the longtable's heading/first heading checkboxes (see attached
example).
aha... I see the point -- thanks for the example!

Re: Re: LyX: How to insert a doc with tabs?
Jürgen,
thanks for the hints! I decided to use the pdfpages package, but the success so
far is just minor:
pdfpages cannot be used for DVI output -- is that right? View/DVI produces an
error "Package pdfpages error: You produce DVI output but PDF output" ... I
think the message should go on... giving the advice "Set output to PDF. (use:
\pdfoutput = 1)". I put this in my preamble ("\pdfoutput = 1"), but it did not
help.
For this reason, I tried to produce a PDF via View/PDF (pdflatex), but this
does not work eiter: "LyX: cannot view file. No information for viewing PDF
(pdflatex)". I added the missing viewer to the PDF (pdflatex) entry under
Tools/Preferences/File formats. This starts the viewer (kpdf) after the PDF was
created, but the file seems to be corrupted ("Could not open file ...").
pdftotext tells me:
Error (0): PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table...
Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary
Error: Couldn't read xref table
The solution I would best prefer would allow me to use latex instead of
pdflatex, enabling me to continue using all the eps images I have already in
the doc. (As far as I understood from the recent discussion pdflatex does not
support eps) -- Is this possible?
Thanks again & looking forward to new advices ;)

w/o pdfpages the output is readable, but there are devastating things done to

LyX: How to insert a doc with tabs?
Hi there, I would like to insert an RTF file into my working lyx doc. The RTF page is rather wide, so I plan to put it on a landscape page (is that possible?). There are some tabs in the file and their positions are essential to the meaning, so I would like to keep them (or at least the text should look as in the RTF editor). Not all lines make use of the tabs. Can sombody please give me some hints how to do that the most efficient way or provide some helpful keywords to look up? Thanks in advance!

Hi Zhenhua, just do not label the equation, then there should not be a numbering. Best, Reinhard.

Hyphenation depends on formatting?
Hello, there is a strange situation with hyphenation that seems to depend on my current formatting. The line I wrote is --- Resulting genotype YRM5: natNT2::PADH-DON1-3mCherry::kanMX6, PADH-meGFP::URA3 --- where PADH both times is written with ADH as subscript, therefore these 3 letters are in a math box. When the text is written in upright characters, all is fine. Due to nomenclature rules the text has to be italic -- and now the hyphenation does not work and the line does not break. Can anybody please tell me why this is and how to cope with the situation? Thanks in advance! Cz. -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

Re: Bibliography
Hi!
Hi, am in the same situation as Martin. And I found that bibtex-files
are easy. But they seem to lack one feature that the bibliography of Lyx
has: Writing your own labels rather than using the numbers [1]. (and
I am talking about this feature:
\bibitem [Haraway, 1989]{Primate_Visions}
)
Anybody who knows if it is possible to insert such labels in .bib files?
My experiences: I had to use APA style for citations and it uses the
author as label, so I had one source without an author and it would me
give me an empty citations, the solution was to use the attribute key
in the bibtex file (key = {something},) to get a custom label, maybe
this also works for you...
have a nice day
peter
btw: just yesterday I handed in my thesis that I wrote with LyX, and I
am really grateful for this software package it saved me some hassle
(and also gave me some, but that's a different story ;-))

Remember, that the Text in Bibtex-Entries is processed by LaTeX. The
underscore is a command to let the following sign be a subscript and only
works in the math environment (the blue Mathed in Lyx). $ toggles between
math and text and therefore TeX tried to correct you by inserting one

There are styles, that have url as a citation type, however, if you stick to

Remember, that the Text in Bibtex-Entries is processed by LaTeX. The
underscore is a command to let the following sign be a subscript and only
works in the math environment (the blue Mathed in Lyx). $ toggles between
math and text and therefore TeX tried to correct you by inserting one
(BTW: this could be regarded as "Wordish" behaviour - correct the user
without asking - still you will be informed)
The solution is to escape the underscore: \_ instead of _.

There are styles, that have url as a citation type, however, if you stick to
the standard styles, misc will be a better choice than book. So how about
@misc{nielsen:2001,
title = {How to Conduct a Heuristic Evaluation},
author = {Nielsen, J.},
howpublished = {Retrieved March 23, 2001 from the World Wide Web
http://www.useit.com/papers/test\_u.html}
}
